A Look Inside the Groves – September 2019 Hale Groves Update

Our citrus expert is using a set of citrus calipers to measure our navels. They are currently averaging 2.75 inches which is right on track to start harvesting in November. We constantly monitor size and quality so we can plan the right time to harvest and pack a given crop.

You can see the internal color of the navel turning a deeper orange color as the sugar and juice continues to develop.
